Poem
Detail from a piece which is destined for exhibition next weekend. It will be shown at the Newman Brothers Coffin Factory in Birmingham, UK and will be entitled "A lament for an unheard voice".
My inspiration has been taken from notes found in the Shroud department where it was noted that for some burials it was required that female faces be shrouded as there was an open coffin tradition.
In this image I am machine embroidering around a poem I have written for this piece. It is ink jet printed on to silk which has been backed with two layers of cotton and then applied to hand made silk paper with added nuno felt.
